Posted

The Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department was presented with a unit citation from the Nassau County Fire Commission at the county’s Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Garden City on April 6.

On Jan. 16, 2015, LCFD firefighters saved Douglas Drummond’s life after he set his fourth-floor apartment on fire, and was trapped in the bathroom. The blaze forced the complete evacuation of the 57-unit building in Cedarhurst. Drummond pleaded guilty to arson and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
